Re: traits with different models



Sorry Kim,

If you must do such complicated models, you'' have to do the 
combinations the tedious way.  I have not automated the kind of
thing you are attempting because there are so many alternative possabilities.

     While they watched, He was taken up, 
          and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
     And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, 
          behold two men stood by them in white apparel who also said
     "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?
          This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven,
     will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."  
                                                              Acts 1 9:11
